EDITORS COMMENTS
President Idi Amin, the notorious African dictator, exudes power and confidence as he sits behind the wheel of his Range Rover at Entebbe Airport near Kampala. This print captures a moment in history on 27th February 1977. In the background, we see the terminal building where just a year prior, passengers and crew of a hijacked Air France flight were held hostage. Amin's larger-than-life persona is palpable in this image. With one hand firmly gripping the steering wheel and a stern expression on his face, he epitomizes authority and control. The Range Rover symbolizes both his opulence and dominance over Uganda during his tumultuous reign. This photograph offers us a glimpse into Amin's world - one filled with political intrigue and controversy. As an influential politician, Amin was known for his brutal regime that resulted in widespread human rights abuses. However, it is impossible to deny his impact on Ugandan politics during this era. Eric Piper skillfully captures this pivotal moment in time through his lens. His composition draws our attention to President Idi Amin while also reminding us of the dramatic events that unfolded within these very surroundings just months before.
